For the most part that is true however, after reading a book called "The Deallionaire" by investor John Lee from Missouri (He was a guest on the Jennifer Hammond show), He talks about selling properties that he has bought  for less than $1000 using both conventional and unconventional means such as advertising a property via craigslist, social media marketing or selling through realtors and word of mouth.I'm mainly looking to venture into North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas and possible New Jersey for this.I have heard both John Lee and Ankit Duggal (A guest on Bigger Pockets show) mention buying into tax deed/tax liens AFTER the main auctions by simply requesting a list of properties that were still unsold. 

Maybe use the Facebook message as a follow up strategy (maybe third contact, once you have established contact with them via mail and/or phone).

I think that we have come to the conclusion that instead of dealing with managing an out of state rental ourselves or via a management company, we will just sell and keep everything local until we are more confident in our abilities to do this properly.

I have clients spread across the country and I even have a few local clients who I never see face to face because we do everything via phone or email.    

Anyone here written off POL loans as bad debt via 8959 on their returns.

I have capital and looking to diversify into real estate via flipping and or holding, among other avenues.

Hello Amia I would like to talk to you and your business partner via email if possible I'm new to the website I just have a few questions just watched the webinar by Brandon Turner.

Right now I spend a lot of time analyzing deals and writing up offers (via Docusign, which I am generally happy with) and it'd be great to have something that could easily integrate and pull useful MLS data into an analysis sheet.

But any response time greater than that is an issue.If they don't communicate via email and instead fax or call you......need I say more?

There's way too much to try and guide you via this forum on BP.
